南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员拉尔夫·诺曼周三在X平台上发文称，他将在南卡罗来纳州联邦参议员大选的角逐中“支持”南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员达琳·格雷厄姆。
“正如我在竞选活动中多次强调的，我的对手从来不是其他共和党人，而是社会主义民主党人和纵容他们的共和党叛徒，”诺曼在声明中说道，“我尊重南卡罗来纳州选民的决定，并祝贺达琳·格雷厄姆参议员赢得共和党提名。我将在11月支持我们的共和党候选人，因为击败民主党、保护我们的保守价值观必须仍是首要任务。”
南卡罗来纳州州长亨利·麦克马斯特任命格雷厄姆填补空缺——她的兄长、已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆于今年7月去世。
随后在8月，这位得到前总统唐纳德·特朗普支持的新任参议员在南卡罗来纳州联邦参议员特别共和党初选决选中击败了诺曼。

上周在败选决选当天的讲话中，诺曼曾表示他会“尽我所能”支持这位参议员。
但在本周早些时候，有人问诺曼是否“存在这样一种情况”，即他会“以公开或默许的方式”为达琳·格雷厄姆参议员竞选或提供支持。

“她赢得了提名，”诺曼回应道，“但我不同意的是，她的所有资金都来自华盛顿特区。自由派政治行动委员会、丽莎·穆尔科斯基都支持她。这令人担忧。”
福克斯新闻数字频道周四联系了格雷厄姆的竞选团队，但未立即得到回复。福克斯新闻数字频道同时联系了穆尔科斯基的办公室，对方拒绝置评。

Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., indicated in a Wednesday post on X that he would “support” Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C., in South Carolina’s U.S. Senate general election contest.
“As I said repeatedly on the campaign trail, my fight was never with other Republicans. It’s with the socialist Democrats and the RINOs who enable them,” Norman said in part of the post. “I respect the decision of South Carolina voters, and I congratulate Senator Darline Graham on winning the Republican nomination. I will support our Republican nominee in November because defeating the Democrats and protecting our conservative values must remain the priority.”
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Graham, the sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, to fill the vacancy following her brother’s death in July.
Then in August, the new senator, who was backed by President Donald Trump, defeated Norman in the South Carolina special Republican U.S. Senate primary runoff.

During remarks the day he lost the runoff last week, Norman had said he would “support” the senator the “best I can.”
But earlier this week, someone asked Norman whether there is “a world where” he would “campaign for or support, even tacitly,” Sen. Darline Graham.

“She won the nomination,” Norman replied. “What I disagree with, she got all of her money from Washington D.C. The liberal PACs, Lisa Murkowski supported her. That’s concerning.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Graham’s campaign on Thursday but did not immediately hear back. Fox News Digital also reached out to Murkowski’s office, which declined to provide comment.
